Perhaps it is because I don't use the HTML editor but when I edit the wiki there is a small + at the right-hand side of the text entry area that allows you to double the size of the entry box.

If you just want text 'tooltips' then you can just add a `title` attribute to any HTML element. There should be a tooltip displayed if you hover over this paragraph.

It may not work with Internet Explorer, I think they may only show titles for anchor tags.

If you want something more complicated then Moodle already includes the overlib.js library which is used to produce pop-ups on the calendar for example.

Moodle Yes--Commercial No.

I agree with the sentiment, but as a minor nitpick, I generally prefer the term proprietary over commercial for reasons outlined in this definition.

Apparently the conclusion of this review is incorrect. Though WebCT are keeping quiet about it, some hearsay (see comments in this blog post) intimates that they intend to force everyone to move to the Vista codebase, but will maintain Campus pricing models.

This is actually really easy to implement, and there's a few variations published freely, including a pure javascript one, so it's rather a shame that someone is charging for this feature.

I've added this to some of my own themes for Moodle, however, unless the colours and styles are generated purely by CSS (and not by a combination of CSS and config.php) then it only works to a certain degree.
